Company to sell Halo armor replicas
Got an extra $3,500? If so, you can sport the Master Chief's MJOLNIR suit this Halloween.
Recently, Bungie Studios posted an interview with Atlanta-based Nightmare Armor, a small art company which will soon be selling full-size, fully wearable replicas of the Master Chief's MJOLNIR armor from Halo. While they probably wouldn't stand up to much plasma fire, the fiberglass and aluminum replicas look amazingly realistic, and even include blue lights on the helmet and a fully mirrored faceplate.
While the MJOLNIR replicas are not exactly proper for formal gatherings, Nightmare Armor's Brian Boling has found several occasions to wear them. "We go to conventions such as: Dragon Con, ComicCon, Costume Con, Gen Con, Chicago Con, just to name a few," he told Bungie. "This year we're all excited about possibly making it out to E3." The replica would also possibly be one of the most badass Halloween costumes ever constructed.
Unfortunately, like the full-sized Robocop suits that occasionally pop up on eBay, the MJOLNIR replicas are not cheap. When the Nightmare Armor site is officially re-launched in a few weeks--currently, only a primitive store is online--it will offer the fully finished suits for $3,500 a pop in Space Marine green. For those who'd prefer to paint their replicas themselves, unfinished pieces are available individually.

This is pretty sick but I think that it ruins the whole concept of going out there and making your own armour
Wow. At first when i read this, I thought that this was totally fake. But this could be awesome. I just hate how much it costs though...
I know a guy in St. Pete Florida that can do that for $500. He made me the suit, Battle Rifle, and Sword.
That is so freakin' sweet. I almost hope and wish to see someone walkin' 'round with this suit on. Looks insane!
omg i want one, yes i know im sad, if i got it i would wear it every day to get my moneys worth lol
Personally, that's a waste. With $3,500, you could buy a semester's tuition at a community college. Or 70 different $50 games.
If you could show your face to people on X box live Halo 3(I'm not sure if you can) that would be so awesome if you had a voice changer to go along with it."I AM MASTER CHIEF AND I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!"
that would be fun to have,.. but what's the point? only thing i could think of is paintball, but then it would be all pink {:~)
yea thats a great suit and all but i would rather play halo instead of waste my time with a costume that you cant to much with
what the.......... oh my god........... who would buy this i could ask my dad to make 1 but that is CRAZY AND RETARDED!
I hope Nightmare Armor know that you can make one in 8-16 hours yourself for about 30 bucks
Althought i am not going to buy this, is this armor like for the whole body or just part?
Your jokeing right? who the hell would be dumb enough to by one of those? It probably cost around about 10 $ to make so thats of mark up there. Seriously, some Halo fans need a life
There will be alot of idiots that buy that. Bungie knows they can sucker someone into paying that much.
the most i would pay is 300, maybe 500, ok 700, no 1000, all right! im just gonna pay the 2.5k$!!!!!!!!
Thats pretty cool, but it doesn't look as good as my Darth Vader suit, which was a lot friendlier to my wallet.
AAAWW!! TOTALLY BADASS!!! I'm going to eventually get one... damn! I hope they still make these a year from now when I can save up enough money to pay in full....
That would be awesome. I'd wear it to school, church, funerals, the mall, etc. Maybe I'd even get married in it!
WOW!!! now i have to decide between this and the stormtrooper armour, i hope it doesnt just come in green, I WANT PINK AND SILVER!!! if i had one i'd wear it ALL the time, going the shops, school, and sometimes just stand around posing....
f*ck dat crap just have em make it in light steel shell then put that over the fiber glass Theeeennnn youll look like the bad a$$ kid on the block wo wasted money on somethin youll see in about 50 years in the military but without the whole sheild covenant technology....lol probly be alot less bulkeyer 2...
